How does PA assign the severity level of my cases?
When assigning a severity level to your support case, we consider the severity of the problem, the business impact to your organisation, and whether there is a suitable workaround available. The severity level may change during the life of the support case. Please use the following as a guideline:
- Severity 1 – Critical
- Your entire system is inoperable and your organisation is critically impacted.
- Severity 2 – High
- You cannot use the system, or a function of the system is not working correctly and is affecting your processing. No workaround is available. Your business is severely impacted.
- Severity 3 – Medium
- A function is not working correctly but is not mission critical. Often a workaround will exist although the issue does need to be resolved. Your business is not seriously affected.
- Severity 4 – Low
A question or request for information regarding existing systems, new products, or functionality.
Each active case will be assigned an agreed severity level. You can change the severity level of a case and therefore the priority by liaising with the Support Team.
